Pacific International Quilt Festival

WOW! Pacific International Quilt Festival XXI was bigger and better than ever this year.  The quilts were breathtaking and the vendors were irristible. The Mancuso brothers, and staff, work very hard to produce a show that appeals to many levels of quilters and fiber artists.  They don't dissapoint, they deliver!  


If you've never experienced the Pacific International Quilt Festival get your calendar out right now and mark the dates for 2013.  The festival will be held October 17 - 20, 2013 at the Santa Clara Convention Center.  

Plan to attend next year and treat yourself to a truly great experience.

Busy October

October 3, 2012

What  a busy time of year!!!  Not only is it harvest time in the Sacramento Valley but the WCQA A Course on Judging Quilts and Wearable Art is next week!!!!!

The staff and instructors are really looking forward to teaching the course.  I must say the course is intense.  There's lots of information to absorb by the students.  They will even have homework.  That's not a very nice thing when you want to see the fabulous Pacific International Quilt Festival show but, in order to be well trained, it is necessary.

On another note:  New course dates and locations will be announced in January, 2013.  If you are considering the possibility of judge's training check back for more information.
